Next Tuesday, President Obama will give his State of the Union address and Mitch Daniels is going to give the Republican rebuttal.

Well, I just read an "exclusive" on the "Weekly Standard", a draft of Daniels speech in which the last portion of it he says he is reconsidering running for President! How crazy will that be if it's true??

Weekly Standard is a blog so I'm not posting the links. (Although I can) I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it at all but if it's true, I thought it would nice to have a little heads up.

I believe it is too late for him to get on most ballots. Not to mention, he will have missed three primary states already....

The "Presidential run" part of this story appears to be a tongue-in-cheek commentary from columnist Bill Kristol. I'm fond of stories with dark, mysterious ladies, but judge for yourself. :heh


This morning, the Republican leadership on the Hill announced that Indiana governor Mitch Daniels would deliver the GOP response Tuesday night to President Obama’s State of the Union Address. An hour ago, a dark lady mysteriously appeared at our offices and dropped off an envelope before vanishing down the stairwell. We can’t vouch for the authenticity of the document the envelope contained, of course. But it appears to be a draft of a section—the final section, apparently—of Daniels’s speech text. On the first page of the section is typed, in capital letters, “DO NOT CIRCULATE WITH THE REST OF THE SPEECH DRAFT—THIS IS UNDER PERSONAL CONSIDERATION BY THE GOVERNOR.”
